Import from .py trouble

[michael1789]

I'm trying to split my code into separate modules: sprites.py, setting.py, etc. I'm clearly missing something.

from settings import *
print(tile_size)

This doesn't work, though I think it should.

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\owner\Desktop\Python3\DungeonGame\levels.py", line 2, in <module>
    print(tile_size)
NameError: name 'tile_size' is not defined

If I spell the file wrong, like "sttings", I get

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\owner\Desktop\Python3\DungeonGame\levels.py", line 1, in <module>
    from sttings import *
  File "C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Programs\Thonny\lib\site-packages\thonny\backend.py", line 305, in _custom_import
    module = self._original_import(*args, **kw)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sttings'

I have all the python files in the same directory and setting.py's first line is "tile_size = 50" Python can see that the file exists but "import" doesn't make it visible.
